Does anyone actually negotiate equity or is that only a tech thing? I'm interviewing at a startup and they mentioned options but I genuinely don't know how to evaluate whether they're worth anything or how to push for more.

Negotiate your salary. The equity could be something or it could be nothing. Treat equity as a plus but not your starting point for negotiating.

thank you!

As someone in tech yes 😂 but it does tend to be fairly industry specific. I didn’t see it in banking or oil & gas unless it would have been a start up; where pay was average - but they wanted to retain and reward top talent.

I think company size, and role are also important factors. Executives, VPs, C-suite will have much richer compensation packages and avenues compared to average employees. But you usually need to operate at a significantly leadership level to open these compensation doors.

Overall, I would expect it to be common unless you’re at a start up or a seasoned executive. Organization size will also be a factor - but HR will know what salary band/roles open the door to equity, shares, and other creative comp opportunities.

that makes a lot of sense! thank you for all of your advice and input, super helpful!!
